The Legacy Film Festival on Aging celebrates the aging process as profound, often challenging, & always courageous. Will we age “gracefully”, crankily, painfully, defiantly? We portray this unique, ever-changing experience honestly, artfully, always with compassion and love for their subjects.

Here's what's coming up soon. Can't make it? No sweat. Many live streams will be available for on-demand viewing as well.
